What is the Progress Pride Flag,and Why is it Significant?

"The Progress Pride flag was developed in 2018 by non-binary American artist and designer Daniel Quasar (who uses xe/xyr pronouns). Based on the iconic rainbow flag from 1978, the redesign celebrates the diversity of the LGBTQ community and calls for a more inclusive society." - https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/the-progress-pride-flag

Make Badges has created this free flag variant based on the original Daniel Quasar version, which was released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

The Progress Pride flag is very similar to the original Pride flag, with one key difference. While the six stripes of the rainbow design are retained as the foundation of the flag, the "Progress" variation adds a chevron along the left side to represent:

Marginalised communities such as people of colour
Transgender people
People who are living with HIV/AIDs

The Progress Pride flag has become a symbol of hope, acceptance, and progress in the LGBTQIA+ community. It honours the various identities within this community by celebrating a new layer added to the traditional Pride flag. The flag also serves as a sign of strength and resilience for all those who feel like they don't have a voice or place in society. It unites people from different backgrounds who face similar struggles and celebrates their shared humanity.

Ultimately, the Progress Pride flag is an important milestone for LGBTQIA+ rights and a reminder of how far we've come together to reclaim our identities – no matter what colour our skin is or how we identify ourselves.

Be mindful of the bleed on your pride badge

A bleed is an important element in ensuring the best result when printing your badges. In short, it is an additional area around the finished size of product that is trimmed during the manufacturing process. The bleed ensures no white unprinted areas are visible when the product is complete. Read more in our bleed guide article.
